Book a Consultation with a REYU hair specialist
Before you dive into the most suitable REYU HAIR program, it is advisable to consult a REYU healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and explore possible treatment options.
The REYU hair consultation utilizes the professional software system "YourHairType™." During the consultation, a specialist examines the condition of your scalp and hair using a specialized scope and conducts a blood test. Based on the results, the REYU hair specialist will identify the cause and type of hair loss. They will then determine whether REYU can assist with your specific case, recommend the number of treatment sessions needed, and advise if ongoing maintenance is necessary.
A preview of our individualised
REYU HAIR programs
1. The REYU REPAIR program
In this program, we concentrate on the quality and luster of your hair. The best candidates are those who suffer from thin and dull hair or have lost their luster through the years with diverse hair manipulations, such as extensions, bleaching, or perming. Four sessions with a weekly interval (1 session a week) are needed to kickstart the repair, followed by a repair boost once a year.
Sometimes, it’s enough to eliminate the causes, such as bleaching or perm, to keep your hair healthy for decades.
2. The REYU HAIR LOSS program
This program stops sudden and profuse hair loss, depending on the cause of hair loss.
Physical or mental stress, delivery of your baby, sudden hormonal changes, or a recent disease are the main causes. In this program, we apply a short boost of 4 sessions with a weekly interval (1 session a week) to stop the hair loss. If the stress period becomes chronic, we prolong the sessions till the cause subsides.
3. The REYU HAIR GROWTH program
This program aims to revive your “dormant” hair follicles (about 30.000) and generate new hairs, thus eliminating your baldness due to Andro Genetic Alopecia.
The inclusion criteria for the hair growth program will depend on your stage of baldness, age, and aggravating factors. Once you meet the requirements, you can benefit from REYU with measurable results!
We start with six sessions over 6 weeks (1 session a week), followed by a 7th and 8th session 2 and 8 weeks later. After completion, we protect your hair against baldness with the REPAIR program.
4. The REYU HAIR PROTECT program
This program provides short-term and long-term action for transplanted hair. Short-term, providing the best conditions for the growth of the newly transplanted hair follicles.
Long-term, the even more critical action of protecting the natural surrounding hair follicles from further deterioration, thus preventing the exposure of the transplanted hair follicles with no natural hair around to hide them, and eliminating the need for additional transplantation sessions.
5. The REYU HAIR YOUTH program
With aging, the growth phase, or anagen phase, shortens and becomes irregular. Your hair
becomes thinner and uneven in length—the hallmark of aging. This is the moment when the hairdresser suggests you wear a shorter hairstyle. While solving the problem of aging hair elegantly, it also reveals your age.
REYU increases the anagen phase and restores your youthful, longer hair, thus matching the
efforts you invested in the rest of your appearance.
By taking care of your hair follicles long-term, at a rate of once every few months, you can regain the youthful, long, and lustrous hair of your youth—a true hair rejuvenation.
Initialization phase:
Hair follicles are tiny organs connected to fine loops that provide blood flow, nervous connection, and lymphatic drainage. Initialization happens nearly instantly.
Rejuvenation phase:
In this phase of activation, we must diligently apply the sessions every week. Only after 4 to 8 sessions, depending on the program, can we space them out if long-term protection is needed.
Maintenance phase:
This phase is suitable for conditions like Androgenetic Alopecia or hair aging, Chronic Telogen Effluvium, or chronic stress on the hair follicles. Depending on the severity of the hair issue, sessions are scheduled every two months to once a year.
Maintenance with REYU is affordable, pain-free, pleasant, and relaxing.
REYU can help if:
Alopecia type AGA as
the cause of hair loss.
Decrease in estrogen level
after menopause.
After childbirth, hormonal changes or a period of stress.
Damaged hair by extensions, bleaching or perming.
In some rare and severe cases, the doctor has to evaluate if the hair can regrow.
How the procedure goes?
"Following a car accident with a perforated abdomen, I started to lose my hair due to the shock of the operation. In 2018, I had a hair transplant and discovered Dr. Karavani’s Biofeedback technology. Since then I have been having a session every other month. His Biofeedback technology has allowed the grafts to heal well and to keep the remaining hair healthy. My hair is thick and full, my scalp is soft and I have had no dandruff or itchiness since then."

The secret behind a successful hair clinic
Dear Client,
We often find ourselves envious when we see someone with a full head of dense, lustrous, and shiny hair. Unfortunately, this is a privilege enjoyed by only a select few. Most of us face various hair issues, ranging from dull and unmanageable hair to hair loss, which can eventually lead to baldness.
The REYU CLEM technology is a groundbreaking solution in hair treatments. This technology is a game-changer developed by Dr. I. Karavani, a world-renowned hair and skin specialist with nearly 40 years of experience. As a pioneer in surgical hair restoration, Dr. Karavani has also mastered and implemented a variety of non-invasive treatments at his medical hair clinic, including mesotherapy, PRP, organic hair supplements, and Laser and LED technology.
What’s the key to success?
Hair loss, poor hair quality, and baldness can stem from various causes, leading to different types of hair loss. Consequently, treatments must fit the specific issue at hand. Some types of hair loss require lifelong maintenance due to hereditary, age-related, or hormonal factors. In contrast, others can be difficult or even impossible to treat if they are related to internal diseases, scalp conditions, or medication side effects.
The first step is to conduct a professional hair analysis called the YourHairType™ analysis, which helps identify the origin and type of your hair issue. Only then can we create a successful, individualized hair care program tailored to your needs.
Based on science. Presented at prestigious universities.
Electro-modulation is rooted in innovative concepts of regenerative medicine, specifically in the field of electro-molecular medicine. The positive outcomes and high levels of patient satisfaction are endorsed by key opinion leaders in hair restoration, as well as by over 80 REYU centers. REYU has built a reputation for delivering treatment that consistently meets and exceeds patient expectations.
Monitored with the YourHairType™ – analysis tool, developed by dermatologists.
The primary reason hair treatments fail is the inability to identify the correct cause and type of hair loss. Factors such as nutrient deficiencies, medications, diseases, and toxins can hinder hair growth. Addressing these issues or avoiding them altogether significantly improves the chances of successful treatment. Once a proper diagnosis is made, the treatment plan is monitored through standardized comparisons of 'before' and 'after' photos. This professional analysis tool is essential to achieve consistent results.
REYU offers 60 years
of protection, from adolescence (15y) till senescence (75y).
More than 90% of all hair issues are chronic. That implies we have to choose the best treatments to be applied as early as adolescence (15y) and sustained for life (75y), and cover 60 years of protection.
None of the current treatments qualify. Minoxidil and Finasteride cause side effects in the long run. Injections in the scalp are not a long-term solution. Hair transplants are only for localized areas and do not stop the further evolution of baldness. The rest of the treatments are home care solutions supporting the primary treatment.
However, during adolescence, a good treatment can be a game-changer. So are treatments that can be sustained throughout life till old age.
REYU acts on the core of hair loss on the six pillars of hair rejuvenation in a non-invasive way.
REYU regenerates biofeedback loops and naturally restores the activity of hair follicles. One of the most significant and reversible causes of hair loss and baldness is a lack of oxygen and poor microcirculation in the capillaries - the smallest vessels surrounding the hair follicles. This plays a crucial role in hair growth.
REYU enhances blood flow through a technique called Closed Loop Electro Modulation. It also restores the nervous connections to the stem cells and melanocytes of the hair follicle while increasing lymphatic drainage around it. Acting as our natural PRP (platelet-rich plasma), REYU degranulates the platelets already present in the scalp, prompting them to release their growth factors. This means there is no need to inject platelets drawn from our blood, as there are 40 to 100 times more platelets available "on site" for degranulation.
Additionally, REYU has powerful anti-inflammatory effects on the hair follicle. Finally, Closed Loop Electro Modulation restores the electrical cohesion between the cells, allowing them to function as a unified organ.
REYU regenerates the biofeedback loops and restores the activity of the hair follicles in a natural way. The poor microcirculation of blood in the capillaries is the most important mendable cause of hair loss and baldness. Blood flow in the tiniest vessels in and around the hair follicle will

THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE HAIR GROWTH.
Hair loss and baldness are widespread problems. More than 66% of men will experience hair loss by age 35. By age 50, 85% of men and 50% of women will have significantly thinner hair.
An approximate breakdown of the prevalence of some common causes of hair loss:
But to understand the solution, we must dive into the origins of hair growth.
Hair grows in small, living pouches called follicles. A hair follicle is a tube-like structure (pore) that surrounds the root and strand of a hair. The follicle's base is broader, forming a hair bulb invaginated by connective tissue known as the dermal papilla. The upper part is called the bulge and contains the stem cells from which new hair growth will emerge.
Thick and long hair are the result of both, a healthy hair follicle and of a well- functioning hair cycle, especially a long anagen phase.
Pic – 1. hair follicle with bulb and bulge
BULB
The hair follicle is thus composed of two distinct regions, the bulge and the bulb. Here's a breakdown of the differences:
-
Located at the base of the hair follicle and is the deepest part of the follicle.
-
Contains actively dividing cells known as matrix cells, which produce the hair shaft.
-
The bulb is where hair growth occurs. It surrounds the dermal papilla, a protrusion that provides nutrients and signals for hair development.
-
Its cellular activity directly affects hair thickness, growth rate, and pigmentation.
BULGE
-
Located above the bulb in the hair follicle structure.
-
Contains a population of stem cells crucial for hair regeneration and repair.
-
Plays an important role in the hair growth cycle, as it can give rise to new hair follicles and support re-growth after hair loss.
-
Acts as a reserve of cells that can migrate to the bulb or the surrounding skin when needed.
In summary, the bulge is involved in hair follicle maintenance and regeneration.
At the same time, the bulb is the key site for hair production.
Pic 2a blood vessels
Pic 2b nerves
The dermal papilla contains many tiny blood vessels (Pic 2a) and nervous connections (Pic 2b) that nourish the follicles. The nervous connections to the hair bulb enable the production of melanin, which determines the colour of the newly formed hair. Nervous connections to the bulge directly connect with the stem cells. Recently, a network of lymphatic structures has been identified in this region. It presumably drains the toxins around the hair follicle and maintains healthy growth. These follicles produce hair, a non-living material made from keratin, similar to our nails.
We are born with over one million hair follicles on our heads, of which about 100,000 will grow out to cover our scalp in adulthood. Several conditions may affect the quality of the hair follicle. Hair growth in the follicle is cyclical and can be divided into four phases. The first phase is the growth phase or anagen, which is the longest and takes years.
The second phase is a transition phase or catagen and is the shortest and takes several weeks. In the third phase or telogen the hair starts to fall over a period of 3 to 6 months – the shedding phase. The fourth phase is the exogen (an early next anagen phase), where new hairs push the old ones out, and a new hair is ready to take place.
Pic 3 hair cycle with phases
The longer the anagen phase, the thicker and longer our hair will be. Young and healthy people have a long anagen phase that shifts slowly toward the telogen phase. Several conditions may affect the length of each phase in the cycle.
Thick and long hair is the result of a healthy hair follicle and a well-functioning hair cycle, especially a long anagen phase.
Conditions Affecting the Hair Cycle
Telogen Effluvium – Acute and Chronic
It is normal to shed approximately 30-150 hairs from our scalp daily as part of our hair cycle, which varies depending on washing and brushing routines. Hair regrows automatically, so the total number of hairs on our heads remains constant.
A sudden traumatic experience can result in a marked increase in the number of hairs shed each day. An increased proportion of hairs shift from the growing phase (anagen) to the shedding phase (telogen). Normally only 10% of the scalp hair is in the telogen phase, but in this situation, the anagen phase ends abruptly and hair shifts immediately into the telogen phase, which increases to 30% or more. This happens naturally after the delivery of a baby, or after physical or mental stress
situations. Some diseases can cause that shift as well. We call it the TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM. A very common type of hair loss.
Depending on the causes, Telogen Effluvium can be ACUTE and limited to less than 6 months (as in the delivery of a baby) or CHRONIC (as in longstanding stress and nutritional deficiencies).
Anagen effluvium (AE)
Anagen effluvium refers to hair shedding that arises during the anagen or growth stage of the hair cycle.
This is in contrast to telogen effluvium, or hair shedding, which occurs during the telogen, or resting, stage of the hair cycle.
Anagen effluvium is due to an acute injury to the hair follicles by an endogenous or exogenous cause, resulting in sudden diffuse shedding of structurally damaged hairs. Diffuse alopecia (hair loss) may occur over days. The alopecia is non-scarring.
What causes anagen effluvium?
Any insult that impairs hair follicle keratinocytes' division and growth can cause anagen effluvium. Disruption to cell division in the hair matrix makes the hair narrow at its base and susceptible to breakage just above the zone of keratinisation.
The necrotic matrix forms plugs consisting of melanin, keratin and inner root sheath which are extruded through the follicular opening. This process is known as trichomalacia.
The main causes of anagen effluvium are an infection, a drug, a toxin, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or an autoimmune disease.
Treatment of anagen effluvium involves addressing the underlying cause, focusing on hair care and possible medical interventions to support hair regrowth.

Conditions affecting the Hair Follicle
Aging, steady hormonal decline, combined with a genetic predisposition will gradually deteriorate the hair follicle's lifeline, resulting in miniaturization of the hair follicle, a shorter anagen phase, and ultimately less and thinner hair. Hair follicles shifting to this condition are called "sleeping hair follicles". An increase in sleeping hair follicles due to this cause is the most common type of hair loss, named AGA or ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA. Men and women are affected by this type of baldness, each with its pattern, as shown in the chart of Alvi Armani (Pic 4 of chart).
Degeneration of the hair follicle in AGA is gradual. It leaves us with a pattern of living, dead, and dormant hair follicles.
Pic 5 of degeneration of hair follicle
-
Hair follicles can be alive and active. In that case, you will have a luxuriant head of hair and will not need to do much. These living and active hairs are on average 0.1 mm thick.
-
Hair follicles can also "die" and no longer be able to produce hair. They unfortunately cannot be revived. A hair transplant can be useful in specific cases.
-
"Dormant" hair follicles are present in incipient baldness. They produce thin hairs (on average less than 0.04 mm thick) and appear as baldness from a distance. Baldness increases as more and more active hair follicles enter a dormant phase. Fortunately, with treatments, they can be transformed back into active hair follicles.
Hair loss through follicular regression is due to the degeneration of the vessels and nerves that run from the brain and heart to the hair follicle, and back. We call them the biofeedback loops. Lymphatics play a role, too. Nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics deteriorate with aging, stress, poor lifestyle, diseases, and other external aggressions, as revealed during your first consultation. When the hair follicle fails to receive enough nourishment to its cells, the hair starts thinning and the follicle becomes dormant. Ultimately the hair follicle will vanish.
Pic 6 of loops
Balding men have on average 30.000 sleeping hair follicles. They become bald as hair thins out. This can go as slowly as a 1% loss a year up to a 30% loss a year. In these cases, baldness will appear soon in life, and immediate action is required to prevent baldness. Good technologies can result in a regression of AGA within 3 months of treatment if you have enough "dormant" hair follicles. This is the case in individuals aged between 25 years to 50 years with mild to moderate baldness corresponding to the framed heads on the Alvi Armani scale: Class 2 to Class 5.
Conditions Affecting the Hair Lustre and Vitality
Hair Root or Hair Shaft Damage
The vast majority of people suffer from unmanageable hair that has lost its vitality and luster. Dull and unmanageable hair is often the result of overstyling, physical damage to the hair, perms, bleaching, or coloration. Extensions or wigs attached to the existing hair can also damage the roots. Compulsive pulling on the hair also falls into that category.
Diseases of the scalp, or reflected on the scalp
Many diseases can impact hair loss or even directly affect the scalp tissue. Autoimmune diseases are at the core of alopecia areata in all its forms. Thyroid gland dysfunction and parathyroid gland overactivity can lead to hair loss. Inflammatory conditions, such as seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis, can also appear on the scalp, resulting in hair loss. Other inflammatory diseases can cause scarring, often leading to irreversible baldness.
Others
Internal causes are equally important and include nutritional deficiencies, intoxications, some medications, and diseases that affect hair quality. As the causes may vary, so does the treatment.
From here on, we evolved to classification into 6 types:
-
Andro Genetic Alopecia (male and female pattern)
-
Telogen Effluvium Acute (TEA)
-
Telogen Effluvium Chronic (TEC)
-
Anagen effluvium (AE)
-
Hair Root or Hair Shaft Damage
-
Diseases of, or expressed on the scalp
THE CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS ARE DEFINED BY 11 CATEGORIES
-

-
Bad lifestyle: Physical strain, Smoking, Pollution, Insomnia, Toxins.
-
Deficiencies: Food, Vitamins, Minerals, and other.
-

Once the cause and the type of hair loss are determined, the therapist can start the treatment with a predictable outcome.
Standardized images track the progression and are compared during the treatment to determine the treatment's success rate.
Some home-use therapies and treatments may help with hair loss and will be proposed as well.
